Weather like this makes me want to wrap myself in a blanket, drink hot cocoa, and watch Netflix all day. I’ve been working 9 to 5 for the most part this Christmas break, which leaves me with essential no personal time. But I’ve had a good Christmas break nonetheless! I’m extremely grateful to be among families and people I love. I’m thankful for a savior who knows the depths of my heart and loves me the same! This holiday my heart aches for people who are homeless and separated from families and loved ones. I pray for the less fortunate ones who are in times of war and violence. I don’t take my blessings for granted.
This morning I managed to get out of bed early to do yoga, made breakfast, and two jars of smoothies before leaving to work. I also intentionally left my phone untouched until I arrived at the office at 9AM. My morning was quite and enjoyable. I’m even challenged to make a practice out of it!
I must say that this past few months had been particularly hard for me. I have spent more time crying in bed than I have ever before. I was mentally drained. In the process of picking up my broken pieces, I learned that it’s easy to let yourself drown, yet it takes so much strength and courage to simple take the first step and move forward. I was reminded that I need not to conquer fear on my own but rather trust in the Lord. Because He is my constant and my anchor in times of storm! Despite trying hard to keep my sanity when everything seems like go wrong, God has been so good to me this past year. I'm just so utterly thankful for the life I breathe.
2016 will be a challenging year, with college graduation and job hunting within arm's reach. I have been telling everyone I know that I can hardly wait to get out of school already! But deep inside I'm actually freaking out. Yet, I figured that 2016 is the year I stop being afraid and stop questioning if I'm good enough. And just do whatever God calls me to do.
This year will be a memorable and beautiful one. I have a good feeling about it.
